DESCRIPTION
At Rest: Sodium-Potassium pumps that bring Potassium in and take Sodium out. During Action Potential: Voltage-gated channels open up during a nerve impulse, allowing Sodium Ions to flood in, increasing the inside charge. (2) Transport Proteins and Channel ProteinsTRANSCRIPT

At Rest:•Sodium-Potassium pumps that bring Potassium in and take Sodium out.
During Action Potential:•Voltage-gated channels open up during a nerve impulse, allowing Sodium Ions to flood in, increasing the inside charge. (2)

• No signals sent or received • Sodium and Potassium
• Sodium-Potassium pump always active (1&3) o arrangement of sodium and potassium create
opposite net-charges concentration gradient
• Negative Charge inside of neuron

1. Stimulus causes sodium voltage-gated channels to open2. Sodium floods into the cell3. This signal travels down the axon, reversing the charge as it
goes (voltage reversal) 4. To improve the polarity, potassium voltage-gated channels open5. This movement brings the charge back down to the resting
potential.
Action Potential

•Myelin Sheath (made up of lipids) (3)o Prevents electrical current from being
released out of the neurono Increases the speed of the action potential
because does not allow this current to leaveo Damaged or non-existent myelin sheath →
Multiple Sclerosis.

• During action potential the charge changes from negative to positive inside the neuron as it travels down the axon (2&3)
→ voltage reversal • Returns to resting-potential state as negative charges replace the positive charge• Resembles a wave
